With Mrs. Paul, Mrs. Hendley was also one of the first women who started the Chautauqua for Women, formerly held In Atlantic City, and It was she who induced John Philip Sousa, also a native-born Washingtonian and then at the height of his fame as the world's march king, to give a guest concert with his band before their groups. A past president of the Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic, a member of the Order of the eastern Star and greatly interested for many years in the subject of prison reform, Mrs. Hendley Is one of the first women In Washington ever to speak over a Nation-wide radio hook-up.

Continuously since 1912, on February 15, the anniversary of Miss birth, through the courtesy of The Star, Hendley has given a talk on the life service of Miss Anthony to the women of America, and she expects to follow this annual procedure this coming February. For many years, too, Mrs. Hendley was the only woman member of the Citizens' Joint Committee working for national representation for the District of Columbia. With pride she' produces from her businesslike desk a scroll bearing the signatures of over 1,000 local groups and organizations whose indorsement for this project she has herself obtained.
